The 10 Best No-Jump Dog Harnesses For Inspired Dogs

Some dog breeds, like the German Shepherd, can be a handful when training to walk on a leash while others can continue to be pullers even when they are fully grown dogs. Even small dogs– whether you have a German Shepherd puppy or toy poodles–can benefit from no-pull dog harnesses. A no jump dog harness or lead can help take the strain off their neck every time your dog pulls.

If you have a dog that is always pulling against the collar and lead they are on then the wheezing sounds they make can be quite distressing. Also, it is of course hard on their body. Scout knows that it can be hard to find good no-pull dog harnesses or leads, so the team has put together a list of some of the good ones out there to save you time while you teach your dog to stop pulling.

Keys To a Good Fit

Look for harnesses that are highly adjustable in many areas. Just like people, various dog breeds are made in all shapes and sizes. If your dog is at the borderline for one size or on the stocky side, go for one size up (as long as the leash is adjustable).

Check Out Your Dog During and After That First Walk About

Pay attention to signs that the no pull dog harness is not fitting correctly, like rubbing or any raw looking spots. Hopefully, you can spot these before they increase in severity on the first walk.

Make Sure Leads are Made For the Weight of Your Dog

A big dog can exert a lot of force if they are pullers! Make sure that the lead you are buying has a good weight rating as to not strain your pooch’s legs. If you put a 120lb dog on a lead designed for one that is 60lbs then you are asking for trouble.
